One of the most IntPi-fstinc Jack-.on Day celebrations of recent years was that last night when the opera house was filled for three intorest-ing speeches, and the banotiet tables ot Memorial Hall were crowded with enthusiastic Democrats from various parts of fhe bounty, gathered to partake of food and Democratic oratory.Both at the opera house and at the banquet hall the acts of Wood-' row Wilson and the democratic ad-' ministration were praised by the speakers. The attendance was good. At the banquet the following resolution, presented by W. Howard Hons, was adopted: "Be It resolved, by the Democrats of Wayne county, Ohio, assembled at the sixty-filth consecutive Jackson Day celebration and banquet: "That we endorse the national administration of Wood-row Wilson in its entirely. "That wo express our disgust with those senators who are delaying the adoption of the peace treaty, and League of nations, "That we endorse the-business-like administration of Gov. James M. Cox, and the record of Senator Atlee Pomeretio. and having had the pleasure of listening to the masterly address of Hon. William G. Sharp, we urge bim to become a fnndi-date for governor of Ohio and pledge our support to him in the event he would consent to become a candidate." At the opera house Young's orchestra furnished the music. The invocation was given by Dr. Chalmers Martin, and Col. F. C. Gerlacb, president of the evening, gave a fifty minute talk before he introduced Miss Florence K. Allen, assistant prosecuting attorney of Cuyahoga county. Miss Allen proved to be a most interesting speaker, a good reasoner, and an Impressive orator. She d-ernred that ahe was confident a sufficient number of states will ratify the suffrage amendment so that women of America will vote next fall. "All parties will then seek the votes of the women. Miss Allen de clares, ."and there will be various planks in the various piatiorms to catch the women's vole. J.et me sav. though, that if the brain of woman, as Johnson once wrote, was "wiggle-waggle," that is no longer the case. The women of America are interested in the fundamental things of this country, and the party which writes ill its platform the right fundamental things will be the hec lines until the moneys paid party to get the votes of the women yield to the employes normal live-of this nation. i lihoods In this temporary period of i,. igVinn o utanrl on the leaeue of j II ,nn...p ......... - nations. Miss Allen declared tnat tne women of this country want a league of nations, and that they "will not lightly forgive the party that talks about America's angelic womanhood, and at the same time 'defeats the first real step towards world peace." Kenneth Pressler ' pleased his bearers with a recitation. Congressman Welty Was Full of Fir.-. Congressman I'.en F. Welly, or Lima, O , a hrotlier or A. L. Welty. of Applecreek, was a fiery orator, earnest in his effort and very decided In his convictions. He paid a fine tribute to the life of Andrew Jackson, finding in the career of the hero of New Orleans and that of Wood row Wilson many parallel things. Among them he cnnnieral- , i 'Moth had but one spring-board to the presidency. Jackson the battle of New Orleans, and Wilson the governorship of New Jersey; each had a friendly congress durinu his first term, and during their second terms, both hail congresses that were anything but friendly. Both changed the banking systems of the country. Jackson destroying Hie national bank an i Wilson creating th-- fed eral reserve system; neither had any ii.-e for ted tpe, but used direct, orl-inal methods; both were inclin-, I tl, he uncompromising: both were ni.siern of the situation while sitting work in the nresidential chair; tne of both stirred national ii"-, mete was talk of a third term for both: l.otb played a lone harni and played it well; bo'h recived advice only from friends: l.t!i had adventurous spirit"; both were saeanous, but lacking in cunr-fna: small things appealed to neither; hot had intense domestic im-:inct: both were true Spartan?, and would not whimper, even though in treat pain; both had 'kitchen' cabinets: the only-autocrat either knew -.. die autocracy of the human soul " Congressman Welty talked for some time on the alien question, declaring tbe task of educating Imnii-rant ai a treat necessity if this government is to stand. He quoted j-ome startling natiMlrs showing alien populations In tbe largo cities. Congressman Welty declared he was in favor of an inheritance tax of sufficient scope to "give the rich man ton 3tn equal chance wi'h the poor man's son." and that larte fortune accumulated during one life time ihould rerert to the state at the death ot their u"d(,' Mrs. Metzler sang. Ambassador Sharp Holds Attention. i Hon. William Graves sharpe, of Klyria. ambassador to France during the war declared that "speaking not as a partisan but in the interests of truth, Wood row Wilson was the real international leader at the peace conference. The world looked to him as the greatest statesman of the age. The welcome he received upon his arrival in Talis, was the greatest a human being was. ever accorded. Yet a partisan senate is covriM ox fagi; tiii.f.i: COUNCIL ACTS ON THE BUDGET City Council last evening unanimously approved the work of the fi nance committee on the budget, anil adopted the measure. Increases in salaries of policemen and firemen will be possible under the new ap propriation. The increases for patrolmen and firemen are to bo 1 ii per month, and for chief's 10 per month. W.. A. Kerr w as elected president pro tern, to serve as chairman when president Kahl 's not in attendance. Council requested that, the finance committee's explanatory statement fn :be budget he published. It is as ,jlovs: In presenting the ordinance for the budget appropriations for these current six months ending June ,;u. the finance committee desires to call the attention of city council to sevei al features of the situation. In the first place, we regret deeplv the ab sence from our councils of Councilman Harry Newman, member of the commute, but the Chairman has personally gone over every item ot importance with him and is authorized to express his entire support of these recommendations. in the next place, we regard the water project of paramount importance, to which for the present everything else is secondary. The budget has been drawn up with this directly in view. Thirdly, we regard the excessive employment turnover in the police and fire services an threatening to the safety of persons and of property in the city. For policemen and firemen here, in order that inuv eloep peacefully In our beds at nigul .in ii.ivi; our places or ijiisin-M assured reasonably that there will be neither successful holdups by visiting criminals, nor fires that will gain headway against careless and inefficient employes, we need relatively permanent police and liremon. It becomes highly expedient, there. .. ...i . i.. . . . lore, to restore the wage scales in mgn costs for commodities Fourth, we remember t hat these budget recommendations have no binding force until the various committees take up their departments one by one and the council passes ordinances to enforce them. They constitute maximums beyond which the city cannot go in respect to each item; indeed It will be desirable to come within the resources of the city. Hut at present we cannot exactly forsee 'w here J be greatest needs will lie or where it will he easiest to reduce. Rigid budgets as same a consolidation nf life that is static, which is contradictory to the facts. Lastly, it is requisite to notice that this budu'-t is defensive, not progressive. Wooster meds many expenditures that it cannoi undertake at present. The council may be able in the future to suggest means to solve some of the pressing problems that this ImdL-et for want of fnnd-Ignores. Wr. mean to keep within the legal limitations and the financial resources at all points, and are doing so in this report. NEW VOLCANO ISCREATED Mexico City. Jan. 9.

The most interesting bit of politi cal gossip that emanated from tha Jackson day. gathering in Wooster was the announcement of I), I'd. Seas, of Orville, that he is going to be a candidate for representative to succeed K. Ii. Hoover, of Kitiman. Seas had been billed as a candidate for county auditor, and his switch was something cif a bomb shell. Mr. Seas is a prominent business man nt Orrville and was formerly county tax commissioner. Ho was regarded as a strong candidate for auditor, and there was a possibility that he would have had no opposition for the nlace. "I cannottlet my business interests drop altogether,"1 Mr. Seas said, "and if I should become auditor that is (What I should have to do. The po-' sit ion of representative does not take a man's time all through the year." i ; As noon as It was learned that Mr. Seas had dropped from the race, ( names of other candidates were meii-; tinned. Harold Pepppard was brought to the front as a probable candidate, but he declared today that he had given the matter no previous thought, had not planned a campaign and does not think he will run. Michael P.ooth, of Sbreve, who has been a party wheel horse for many years, will seek the place. I Friends of Mr. Booth put the matter up to him as soon as be reached the city Thursday evening, and he decided that he would make the campaign.Prof. Dean Weinier, of Marshall ville, while he liau not definitely made up his mind, is considering entering the race (or representative. Joe Marty, of Wooster, is another probable condldate. j P. F. .Mart hey, of Saltcreek township, and J. K. Hehni, ot Haughman, ( are-to be candidates for county commissioner.' Ed Wirth, of Orrville, is an announced candidate for treasurer. Bert Hobison, Bhreve, is another; David McCuIloch. Orrville, and 1. B. West and John Chtfrown, of Apple-creek are also considering the mutter.1 A. W. P.ui her, Frank Anil, Gu- Seib. up to the present, are the seekers after the nomination for sheriff. While George Slant is the only announced candidate for common pleas judge, A. D. Met z is expected to announce his candidacy soon. and Judge Critcbfieid may also seek the place again. ! Charles C.

A npllt In the Democratic party at this tints la. a very hopeful sign." said Secretary of the Interior Lane today, commenting ou the differences at the Jackson banquet between president Wilson and William Jennings Bryan.Secretary Lane Bald that history has shown that "a split in the Democratic party In January meant a victory at the polls In November." Party leaders on both parties are convinced that only the forlornest of forlorn hopes remain for the ratification of the treaty by the senate. This being the case, judgment based on first-hand knowledge of nation wide conditions, Is that nothing can save the old line parties from splitting over the issues. Only tbe nest few daya can definitely settle the question of just how serious la tbe democratic clash I between Wilson and Bryan. Only a compromise in the senate ran save the democratic party from tbe consequences ot the split bo- t tween its two greatest leaders. Politicians who have tested pp-inlon, declare there are many people, both Democrats and Republicans who wanted the league of nations.In a letter to the Democrats assembled for the two Important dinners, and read at each, President Wilson proclaimed that the United States either must accept the treaty "without changes which alter its-meaning," or leave it. If there Is doubt as to the attitude of tbe people of the country, the "clear and single way out" is to submit the issue to the voters la the autumn, to "give tbe next election the form of a great and solemn referendum," the President said. Mr. Bryan, In his addressee at the two banquets, and following the reading of the President's letter, declared that to present tbe issue to the country would mean a delay of at least 14 months; that the Demo-,cratlc party could not afford, to I share with the Republican party the v responsibility for further delay; that the Democrats, being In the minority in the Senate, cannot de- " wand the right to decide the terms upon which the Senate will consent I to ratification. j Democratic leaders today started (a grund drive to patch differences between the two leaders of their party. Despite the fact that Bryan spoke until 3 a. m. he was called out early for a conference with the democratic national committee and there was a prolonged attempt to settle upon a definite program that would not find Bryan and Wilson at odds. Democratic leaders are working the Westion a plan to be uhmltted to the president for a referendum on the treaty to be taken soon. Democratic leaders were not at all backward In displaying their chagrin at the show of difference. They were hopeful that Bryan would give assurance that he would not head a revolt The treaty situation in the senate was suspended In mid air. There waa an undercurrent of revolt distinguishable. Some senators were inclined to follow the Bryan lead. On the Republican side there was also a determination by some leaders to seek a settlement. MEET PACKERS NEXTMONDAY Washington, Jan. 9.

One of the most IntPi-fstinc Jack-.on Day celebrations of recent years was that last night when the opera house was filled for three intorest-ing speeches, and the banotiet tables ot Memorial Hall were crowded with enthusiastic Democrats from various parts of fhe bounty, gathered to partake of food and Democratic oratory.Both at the opera house and at the banquet hall the acts of Wood-' row Wilson and the democratic ad-' ministration were praised by the speakers. The attendance was good. At the banquet the following resolution, presented by W. Howard Hons, was adopted: "Be It resolved, by the Democrats of Wayne county, Ohio, assembled at the sixty-filth consecutive Jackson Day celebration and banquet: "That we endorse the national administration of Wood-row Wilson in its entirely. "That wo express our disgust with those senators who are delaying the adoption of the peace treaty, and League of nations, "That we endorse the-business-like administration of Gov. James M. Cox, and the record of Senator Atlee Pomeretio. and having had the pleasure of listening to the masterly address of Hon. William G. Sharp, we urge bim to become a fnndi-date for governor of Ohio and pledge our support to him in the event he would consent to become a candidate." At the opera house Young's orchestra furnished the music. The invocation was given by Dr. Chalmers Martin, and Col. F. C. Gerlacb, president of the evening, gave a fifty minute talk before he introduced Miss Florence K. Allen, assistant prosecuting attorney of Cuyahoga county. Miss Allen proved to be a most interesting speaker, a good reasoner, and an Impressive orator. She d-ernred that ahe was confident a sufficient number of states will ratify the suffrage amendment so that women of America will vote next fall. "All parties will then seek the votes of the women. Miss Allen de clares, ."and there will be various planks in the various piatiorms to catch the women's vole. J.et me sav. though, that if the brain of woman, as Johnson once wrote, was "wiggle-waggle," that is no longer the case. The women of America are interested in the fundamental things of this country, and the party which writes ill its platform the right fundamental things will be the hec lines until the moneys paid party to get the votes of the women yield to the employes normal live-of this nation. i lihoods In this temporary period of i,. igVinn o utanrl on the leaeue of j II ,nn...p ......... - nations. Miss Allen declared tnat tne women of this country want a league of nations, and that they "will not lightly forgive the party that talks about America's angelic womanhood, and at the same time 'defeats the first real step towards world peace." Kenneth Pressler ' pleased his bearers with a recitation. Congressman Welty Was Full of Fir.-. Congressman I'.en F. Welly, or Lima, O , a hrotlier or A. L. Welty. of Applecreek, was a fiery orator, earnest in his effort and very decided In his convictions. He paid a fine tribute to the life of Andrew Jackson, finding in the career of the hero of New Orleans and that of Wood row Wilson many parallel things. Among them he cnnnieral- , i 'Moth had but one spring-board to the presidency. Jackson the battle of New Orleans, and Wilson the governorship of New Jersey; each had a friendly congress durinu his first term, and during their second terms, both hail congresses that were anything but friendly. Both changed the banking systems of the country. Jackson destroying Hie national bank an i Wilson creating th-- fed eral reserve system; neither had any ii.-e for ted tpe, but used direct, orl-inal methods; both were inclin-, I tl, he uncompromising: both were ni.siern of the situation while sitting work in the nresidential chair; tne of both stirred national ii"-, mete was talk of a third term for both: l.otb played a lone harni and played it well; bo'h recived advice only from friends: l.t!i had adventurous spirit"; both were saeanous, but lacking in cunr-fna: small things appealed to neither; hot had intense domestic im-:inct: both were true Spartan?, and would not whimper, even though in treat pain; both had 'kitchen' cabinets: the only-autocrat either knew -.. die autocracy of the human soul " Congressman Welty talked for some time on the alien question, declaring tbe task of educating Imnii-rant ai a treat necessity if this government is to stand. He quoted j-ome startling natiMlrs showing alien populations In tbe largo cities. Congressman Welty declared he was in favor of an inheritance tax of sufficient scope to "give the rich man ton 3tn equal chance wi'h the poor man's son." and that larte fortune accumulated during one life time ihould rerert to the state at the death ot their u"d(,' Mrs. Metzler sang. Ambassador Sharp Holds Attention. i Hon. William Graves sharpe, of Klyria. ambassador to France during the war declared that "speaking not as a partisan but in the interests of truth, Wood row Wilson was the real international leader at the peace conference. The world looked to him as the greatest statesman of the age. The welcome he received upon his arrival in Talis, was the greatest a human being was. ever accorded. Yet a partisan senate is covriM ox fagi; tiii.f.i: COUNCIL ACTS ON THE BUDGET City Council last evening unanimously approved the work of the fi nance committee on the budget, anil adopted the measure. Increases in salaries of policemen and firemen will be possible under the new ap propriation. The increases for patrolmen and firemen are to bo 1 ii per month, and for chief's 10 per month. W.. A. Kerr w as elected president pro tern, to serve as chairman when president Kahl 's not in attendance. Council requested that, the finance committee's explanatory statement fn :be budget he published. It is as ,jlovs: In presenting the ordinance for the budget appropriations for these current six months ending June ,;u. the finance committee desires to call the attention of city council to sevei al features of the situation. In the first place, we regret deeplv the ab sence from our councils of Councilman Harry Newman, member of the commute, but the Chairman has personally gone over every item ot importance with him and is authorized to express his entire support of these recommendations. in the next place, we regard the water project of paramount importance, to which for the present everything else is secondary. The budget has been drawn up with this directly in view. Thirdly, we regard the excessive employment turnover in the police and fire services an threatening to the safety of persons and of property in the city. For policemen and firemen here, in order that inuv eloep peacefully In our beds at nigul .in ii.ivi; our places or ijiisin-M assured reasonably that there will be neither successful holdups by visiting criminals, nor fires that will gain headway against careless and inefficient employes, we need relatively permanent police and liremon. It becomes highly expedient, there. .. ...i . i.. . . . lore, to restore the wage scales in mgn costs for commodities Fourth, we remember t hat these budget recommendations have no binding force until the various committees take up their departments one by one and the council passes ordinances to enforce them. They constitute maximums beyond which the city cannot go in respect to each item; indeed It will be desirable to come within the resources of the city. Hut at present we cannot exactly forsee 'w here J be greatest needs will lie or where it will he easiest to reduce. Rigid budgets as same a consolidation nf life that is static, which is contradictory to the facts. Lastly, it is requisite to notice that this budu'-t is defensive, not progressive. Wooster meds many expenditures that it cannoi undertake at present. The council may be able in the future to suggest means to solve some of the pressing problems that this ImdL-et for want of fnnd-Ignores. Wr. mean to keep within the legal limitations and the financial resources at all points, and are doing so in this report. NEW VOLCANO ISCREATED Mexico City. Jan. 9.

The most interesting bit of politi cal gossip that emanated from tha Jackson day. gathering in Wooster was the announcement of I), I'd. Seas, of Orville, that he is going to be a candidate for representative to succeed K. Ii. Hoover, of Kitiman. Seas had been billed as a candidate for county auditor, and his switch was something cif a bomb shell. Mr. Seas is a prominent business man nt Orrville and was formerly county tax commissioner. Ho was regarded as a strong candidate for auditor, and there was a possibility that he would have had no opposition for the nlace. "I cannottlet my business interests drop altogether,"1 Mr. Seas said, "and if I should become auditor that is (What I should have to do. The po-' sit ion of representative does not take a man's time all through the year." i ; As noon as It was learned that Mr. Seas had dropped from the race, ( names of other candidates were meii-; tinned. Harold Pepppard was brought to the front as a probable candidate, but he declared today that he had given the matter no previous thought, had not planned a campaign and does not think he will run. Michael P.ooth, of Sbreve, who has been a party wheel horse for many years, will seek the place. I Friends of Mr. Booth put the matter up to him as soon as be reached the city Thursday evening, and he decided that he would make the campaign.Prof. Dean Weinier, of Marshall ville, while he liau not definitely made up his mind, is considering entering the race (or representative. Joe Marty, of Wooster, is another probable condldate. j P. F. .Mart hey, of Saltcreek township, and J. K. Hehni, ot Haughman, ( are-to be candidates for county commissioner.'

A npllt In the Democratic party at this tints la. a very hopeful sign." said Secretary of the Interior Lane today, commenting ou the differences at the Jackson banquet between president Wilson and William Jennings Bryan.Secretary Lane Bald that history has shown that "a split in the Democratic party In January meant a victory at the polls In November." Party leaders on both parties are convinced that only the forlornest of forlorn hopes remain for the ratification of the treaty by the senate. This being the case, judgment based on first-hand knowledge of nation wide conditions, Is that nothing can save the old line parties from splitting over the issues. Only tbe nest few daya can definitely settle the question of just how serious la tbe democratic clash I between Wilson and Bryan. Only a compromise in the senate ran save the democratic party from tbe consequences ot the split bo- t tween its two greatest leaders. Politicians who have tested pp-inlon, declare there are many people, both Democrats and Republicans who wanted the league of nations.In a letter to the Democrats assembled for the two Important dinners, and read at each, President Wilson proclaimed that the United States either must accept the treaty "without changes which alter its-meaning," or leave it. If there Is doubt as to the attitude of tbe people of the country, the "clear and single way out" is to submit the issue to the voters la the autumn, to "give tbe next election the form of a great and solemn referendum," the President said. Mr. Bryan, In his addressee at the two banquets, and following the reading of the President's letter, declared that to present tbe issue to the country would mean a delay of at least 14 months; that the Demo-,cratlc party could not afford, to I share with the Republican party the v responsibility for further delay; that the Democrats, being In the minority in the Senate, cannot de- " wand the right to decide the terms upon which the Senate will consent I to ratification. j Democratic leaders today started (a grund drive to patch differences between the two leaders of their party. Despite the fact that Bryan spoke until 3 a. m. he was called out early for a conference with the democratic national committee and there was a prolonged attempt to settle upon a definite program that would not find Bryan and Wilson at odds. Democratic leaders are working the Westion a plan to be uhmltted to the president for a referendum on the treaty to be taken soon. Democratic leaders were not at all backward In displaying their chagrin at the show of difference. They were hopeful that Bryan would give assurance that he would not head a revolt The treaty situation in the senate was suspended In mid air. There waa an undercurrent of revolt distinguishable. Some senators were inclined to follow the Bryan lead. On the Republican side there was also a determination by some leaders to seek a settlement. MEET PACKERS NEXTMONDAY Washington, Jan. 9.
